I hereby welcome you to the DCS forums, where opinions are only valid if they're positive.

GoodDriver, i agree completely with you, however i wouldnt say the mig 21 and f86 are training jets. (arguably the F86 could be seen as one in the DCS context) When i think of these training jets being added in DCS:W i think back to before DCS:W and imagine them as standalones , like the shark and A-10 were. Think about it , imagine a standalone sim based on a training jet , how many people would buy that? I dont think alot. But somehow becouse its incorporated in World its fine... I'm probably coming over as disrespectfull , but i'm not. If people want to spend time and money developing a training jet simulator (the whole idea behind a "training jet simulator" just seems weird, imo) its up to them. I personally wont buy it. And i'm not picky at all when it comes to sims , i'll take almost anything i can get. Hell , i even learned how to fly helo's just to buy the huey. I just don't understand why in a digital simulator , we need training jets.. like someone else said earlyer , we can train with the actual aircraft , why bother flying a trainer? I'm not sure how a training jet "trainer campaign" would be any different or better then a training campaign in a real aircraft. Again , i'm not saying people can't develop trainers if they want to. I feel like on these forums i have to say that multiple times or a posse will come after me. Oh , and people who are saying that 3d party devs need to make something easy (easy as in , not complex avionics) to get used to DCS programming and/or to make money is 100% correct, however there are more things then just trainers they could be doing. Not every aircraft is an A10. EDIT : Oh , and i dont see trainers as civilian aircraft , at all. I would LOVE some civilian aircraft like C-130s or .. well anything big really. A training jet is completely different.

I didnt say anything before becouse i didnt wanna be "that guy" but i completely agree. I dont understand why anyone would want to fly a trainer aircraft in a sim ... i was fine with the hawk becouse i thought it would only be one , and since they're a pretty famous aircraft , but now that there's 3 i'm quite confused what their devs are thinking

I also agree , the part about the config file is VERY usefull. Will changing this make it so you cant join certain multiplayer servers anymore?

Even though i didn't like it that much (i set my own expectations WAY too high) i will get in on PC no question.

:doh: lol , it took me about 30 seconds to realise that Vapor's first picture on page 1 isnt actually some weird external pod with wheels but another SU25

More specifically the SU-25. I like the 25 alot , but i feel like the approach while launching laser guided missiles is very dangerous. I like using my A-10 as a sort of UAV , staying high and dropping LGB's and employing mavericks. (Yes , yes , i know the A10 was designed to be used at low altitude). So , would it be possible for an A-10 to lase a target that the 25's missiles can home on? I would assume it has something to do with the laser code , but i'm not really in the know as to how laser guided missiles exacly work. Is there even a way to find out your 25's laser code? Thanks in advance. McBlemmen

July also doesn't mean july first... worst case scenario we have to wait a month and 3 weeks T_T Well , worst case scenario would be it getting delayed , but that woulnd't happen to a DCS module.. right? Right? :(

I really cant choose one.. but my favorites are the 33 (wich i'll never fly again after one of the F-18s comes out , lol) the A10C and the Huey. They're all so different its almost impossible to name a single favorite one

If by that you mean the 33 will also get an AFM when the 27 does , i wouldn't count on it. I think the whole carrier takeoff and landing aspect of the 33 makes its FM quite a bit more complex

There is no difference. I think they will end up releasing every FC3 AC as a standalone, and then take FC3 off the market and then they'll earn more money/ Mo money mo sims.

Absolutely

Absolutely. Even if it turns out bad , i would still do it just to support them becouse their previous modules were so amazing.

Is that a joke or does it actually say that somewhere?

Really? This is the worst thing in the game? A little camera annoyance that takes a few seconds? I guess the game doesnt have any real problems after all if this is the worst thing.

Its great for slew controls , awkward at first but great once you get used to it

Ah sweet! I saw people say a campaign isnt important but i completely dissagree , shipping a game without campaign is shipping an unfinished game. Love it. The campaign was to be added at a later date , not on release.

Slew , TMS , DMS , and coolie hat switch should be on the HOTAS. Also wichever CMS switch releases CMS (sorry , i dont remember off the top of my head wich one it is) Also , i dont know if you have a pinky switch , but if you do , it essentially doubles your HOTAS keys available. You might (not 100% sure since i havent done this mysellf) use a keyboard modifier along with a hotas key to get even more hotas functions so you can keep one hand on the stick and one on the keyboard. Usefull for things like trim. Edit :wow , just noticed this is not in fact in the A-10 forum. My bad. If you're talking about the SU25t, my suggestion would be slew , target lock , switch weapon , cannon , release countermeasures and activate laser. If you have more keybindings available i like to have my TGP toggle and ELINT pod toggle on there aswell.

Poll answers are pretty extreme , i'm indifferent. I welcome a new map any day , but dont need it asap.

Edit : never mind.

Don't count on it.

Is sorcer3r's post bugging out for anyone else? Anyway , i totally agree. I had never thought about this untill i played BMS and instantly noticed the stores and wings shaking , now i'm really disaapointed this doesnt happen in DCS Let's hope ED knows that people want this and have it on their to-do list.

I've not looked into how becouse i dont care , but you can definately already get them somehow. Early versions

Exacly

Was a F35 module ever possible at all? I thought it was all extremely classified.. i saw a video just earlyer (one of the "F35 is a lemon" videos) and the camera crew wasnt even allowed to see the rear of the aircraft after it had parked... I mean how do you build a sim on something so classified?
